  1. One guy has called the free press "the enemy of the state" and the only information that can be trusted is what he tells you. Have you ever asked yourself, who benefits from this? It’s certainly not you. And while the press does suffer from some problems (which is a whole other conversation I don’t have time for this morning) for the most part they are doing their jobs. Yes, there are more opinion pieces out there than there used to be, but here’s a good tip. If you’re reading something that makes you feel strong emotions-it’s most likely not news, and just an opinion. Read as much information from a variety of sources and make up your own mind. And social media is entirely the worse place to get information. Not only has it been weaponized by bad actors, but the very nature of the algorithms behind them, is to keep you engaged. Studies have shown the top ways to achieve this is through anger and fear. That means the more extreme stories are what keep people on their platforms. So you do the math.
  2. You’re better than this, Max. Please stop it. The fact the some of you can’t figure out that a computer algorithm, that is designed to keep you engaged (through hate and fear) is warping your realities, is beyond me. Some of you used to smart, but are defying any logic and buying this crap.
  3. Most likely people finding out the polls are focked.
  4. Is this true? I read he was slightly down, but that was this morning.

    Tucker Carlson Attacked by a Demon

    Do you suck the fun out of every joke? Because I now feel compelled to explain it to you.
  6. Meh, his goose was cooked way before that.
  7. Also, those must have been adenochrome free babies- Biden’s still old as fock.
  8. Now we know who trained Commander.
  9. There’s more herding in swing state polls than at a sheep farm in the Scottish Highlands

    Tucker Carlson Attacked by a Demon

    I don’t know about what you just posted, but it definitely wouldn’t be considered Occam’s razor. HTH

    Biden Just Called Trump Supporters “Garbage”

    Not possible. Ray said it changed the context. (sarcasm in case you can’t tell) You could argue that the apostrophe would make it mean the people that supported Hinchcliffe’s joke, but even I think it’s a stretch.

    Wait, so you guys have your panties in a twist over an apostrophe? How does anyone even know which one he meant? And is this the apostrophe that someone mentioned a while back?

    Tucker Carlson Attacked by a Demon

    Occam’s razor: Tucker strikes me as a man with very effeminate finger nails.
  14. We’re gonna need to put poor Jon on suicide watch come election night.
  15. If you violate my personal space while standing in line, I should be able to pin you to the ground and fart in your face.

    MRI This Morning And Double Colonoscopy Next Friday

    I’m pretty sure Bunny means a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. At least I hope so. 🫤
  17. Anyone using their phone in public on speaker you should be allowed to throw it on the ground and stomp on it.
  18. Well, all 3 are massive ’s and let’s not forget that Musk has how much $$$$$$$ in government contracts? Congress. The same way Harris would reinstate Roe. Yes, I realize that hinges on each party having control. I honestly have no idea what SCOTUS would do, and a 0% chance I want to find out. I hoping that she’s stands by Israel, but understand that while she’s running she’s can’t afford to alienate those voters. With regards to the border, I do believe that the Democrats have finally come around this issue. It may be naïve, but I’ll roll the dice and hope for the best.
  19. Nope. I actually get more sure everyday. We already know there were people who kept him from implementing some of his worst instincts. They won’t be there this time. The language of fidelity/loyalty keeps coming up when asked about who he plans to stock his administration with this time. We also know he issued Schedule F as an executive order, in the final months of his presidency. He has explicitly stated he plans to bring that back. So yeah, him having a bunch of yes men in bureaucratic positions throughout the government doesn’t exactly inspire me with confidence. Good thing we won’t have to find out!
  20. I wouldn’t look at the polls this election either. Good call!
  21. Yeah, it’s like that. You can do better than this.
  22. Well, yes, but Trump sets an awfully low bar.
  23. Whew! I’m so glad that Trump can be trusted on this.
  24. I filled out both, here. He’s totally oblivious that he just voted for Harris.
  25. Doesn’t mean there isn’t some factual information/stats in there. There have been countless news stories about the R’s ground game app being gamed by the people who signed up for it.
